Chapter 806 Entering the Mountain Again
In fact, apart from the difficult road to walk on and the difficulty of carrying the mushrooms, picking mushrooms is quite interesting. It is much easier than working in the fields. You can have fun and earn a lot of money. Even children are happy to do this kind of work.
Zhou Guo had nothing to do, so he went up the mountain with the old man.
The two of them brought pots, bowls and seasonings, planning to have a big meal in the mountains, and they didn't bring any ingredients.
As soon as they entered the mountain, Zhou Guo and the old man agreed to meet at the old place, and then the two separated.
One old and one young, they have different hobbies and don't want to be together.
One loves hunting and fishing, the other loves looking for rare things, such as medicinal herbs, wild fruits, flowers and grasses. They will not stay in one place for long.
She went to pick wild pears as usual, but when she arrived, she found that none of the wild pears were left this year.
Looking down at the ground, I saw a thick layer of green leaves, which seemed to have been picked by the people who went up the mountain.
Although wild pears are not very delicious, they are better than nothing. The few trees that the old man brought back have grown a lot in the past few years. Last year, she asked Grandpa Zhao for a few pear branches and grafted two of them. She estimated that it would take a few years for them to bear fruit.
She went to check on the two walnut trees again. There were not many walnuts in the past two years, so she didn't come to pick them and didn't compete with the little animals for them.
This year is amazing, the trees are full of them, two or three fruits at a time, in piles and piles. It's really a delight to look at!
I searched for a fallen one on the ground. The green skin had been bitten a few times. It looked like the little squirrel didn't hold on tightly and dropped it.
Break open the green shell and reveal the thick white flesh inside. Well, it's ready to be beaten.
Peel off the skin around the flesh and put the kernel into your mouth. It is oily and fragrant, and it is almost cooked.
He looked up at the tree, found a long pole left over from previous years, climbed up the tree and started hitting the treetops.
Suddenly, fruits fell down with a crackling sound, leaves fluttered down, broken branches fell off, and the little squirrels hiding in the trees fled away.
She fought for a while, and when she felt it was enough, she put the pole on the tree and jumped down.
He took out the sack and started picking up.
We picked up two sacks from this big tree alone.
After picking up two sacks, she picked up another twenty or so. She sat cross-legged on the ground and started eating. When she had eaten enough, she hung the sack on the tree and turned inside.
It’s still early, let’s go in and take a look.
The small ginsengs that were left over from that year are still as big as before after not seeing them for a few years. I don’t know who came to find them many years later.
The mountains here are quite deep, and generally no one comes in. Even if there are many people, no one dares to go too deep without being armed. There are more pine mushrooms inside than outside. She took a sack and picked them along the way. Soon she had picked up a sack.
I walked around inside several times, but unfortunately, I didn't see anything particularly valuable except pine mushrooms at that time. There were no ginseng or rare flowers or plants. It would have been nice to have some agarwood.
Unfortunately, her good luck seemed to have run out when she found ginseng that year.
But since I was already here, I would feel it would be a waste of my trip if I didn't take something away, so I dug up a spring orchid I saw.
I went home and put it on the windowsill, next to the red-flowered Jianlan, so that the two grasses now had a companion.
Then he carried the pine mushrooms and took down the two sacks of walnuts on his way back. He found a wooden stick to pick them up and went down the mountain.
It was already past noon at this time, and the old man was already busy by the pond.
She looked and saw a roe deer lying nearby. She asked happily, "Master, are we having roe deer for lunch?"
The old man was descaling the fish, and without even looking up, he said, "Let's roast one leg, and take the rest back to eat. You can handle it."
Zhou Guo looked around and said, "I'll go get my mother first. I don't know if she has eaten or not."
The old man was noncommittal.
Zhou Guo put down his things and went there. After looking around and asking many people, he finally found the person.
She was with Chen, the two of them quietly huddled in a corner, picking mushrooms skillfully. They didn't put the picked mushrooms into the basket, but just left them on the ground, planning to pick all the mushrooms they saw around before putting them into the basket one by one.
Otherwise, if someone else came at this time, the loss would be huge.
Although Li is no longer short of money, he still thinks it is quite interesting to compete with everyone for fungi.
The two picked up the items quickly, and Zhou Guo came forward and said, "There are so many here!"
The two were so engrossed in picking up the trash when they suddenly heard someone talking, which sounded like a thunderclap and scared them both.
Turning around, he saw Zhou Guo and said unhappily, "Why are you walking without making any sound? It's so deep in the mountains and forests, you must be scaring people to death."
Zhou Guo said: "I spoke, but you two were so engrossed in picking mushrooms that you didn't hear me."
Li said quickly, "You came at the right time. Please help your Aunt Chen. There are still many in this area."
She only had one backpack on her back, so she couldn't carry any more things back. Chen had a backpack and two sacks, and there were many people coming to her house, so she couldn't carry everything back.
Zhou Guo stepped forward to help, and while helping, he said, "Mom, Auntie, my master is grilling some meat over there, want to go and have some?"
Chen shook her head. "I won't eat. You two can go ahead. I have to fill these sacks today. I'll just eat some dry food."
This is the time to make money and compete with others for mushrooms. The first batch is also sold at the highest price. She wishes she could save money on eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. How could she bear to leave?
Li also said, "I won't go either. We ate dry food and can't eat it now. You go and eat by yourself."
There are only her and Chen here. If Chen doesn't want to go, can she just leave her here alone?
No one can do this.
Zhou Guo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring some to you later. Master has shot a roe deer."
Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. Your aunt now only sees fungi and money. Dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder taste tasteless now. Don't bother with this."
Li said, "That's right. You don't need to come here. Go and have fun by yourself. Don't worry about me. We will go down the mountain when the time comes."
Zhou Guo had no choice but to help them pry up all the mushrooms in the field and left.
There are a lot of mushrooms this year, the most in recent years, which can be compared with her first year of selling mushrooms. There are so many, and I don’t know how she will sell them.
But don't send everything to her.
The old man wasn't surprised that she came back alone, as he was busy roasting roe deer legs.
Seeing that there was only one leg, Zhou Guo went down to the river and caught a shadowless fish, then roasted it over the fire.
Take out a bunch of walnuts from the sack, crush them into powder with stones, and brush them on the barbecue along with oil.
The old man was dumbfounded, "Can this be delicious?"
Zhou Guo said honestly: "I don't know either. Anyway, it's okay. Let's give it a try."
If it tastes good, it will just be one more dish.
The old man shook his head, thinking he had too much free time.
When the barbecue was cooked, Zhou Guo cut the first slice and gave it to the old man, "Master, please try it."
The old man put it into his mouth very reluctantly, and then ate it. It was not as bad as he imagined, and the taste was still quite good.
